The book can be purchased at tjsgift.com with proceeds funding projects where young people help other young people avoid drug involvement. Entretien avec Mme.Haines Par Alycia et Danika Mme. Haines est une nouvelle enseignante au Collège Lorette Collegiate. Elle enseigne des classes de la 9e, 10e et de la 12e année Nous nous sommes assises avec Mme. Haines et on l’a posé des questions au sujet de ‘Qui est Mme. Jessica Haines?’. Voici ce que nous avons découvert! Mme Haines a fait ses études à l’Université du Manitoba et à l’Université d’Ottawa. Ça fait déjà sept ans qu’elle enseigne et elle est une excellente enseignante. Elle a décidé de poursuivre sa carrière dans l’enseignement parce qu’un de ses anciens enseignant l’a dit qu’elle ferait une bonne enseignante, il avait raison! L'enseignement n’était pas son premier choix de carrière. Lorsqu’elle était jeune, elle voulait être une comédienne (actor). Cette année, elle aide à la troupe du Festival Théâtre Jeunesse avec leur production virtuelle. Elle a beaucoup de talents cachés et elle aime une variété de choses. Mme. Haines aime les couleurs turquoise et menthe. Son animal préféré est le chat, elle a un (ou deux ou trois) chat(s) aussi. Elle aime lire et jouer dehors avec sa fille Kami. Elle écoute la musique Country et son émission de télévision préférée est ‘Brooklyn 99’. Une vacance de ses rêves seraient d’être sur une plage entourée d’eau! Merci Mme. Haines! Hockey Day in CLC Having Phys Ed classes forced to be outside has led to some creative ways to be active this winter. With the help of some students, Mr. Mamchuk and Ms. Marinelli created our own outdoor rink that has been used for hockey, broomball, curling and lots of great outdoor fun! CLC was also able to obtain a class set of snowshoes which we hope to use in gym class for years to come. History of Hockey By Alycia We all know the game of hockey, but do you know who invented hockey? Or when the game was invented? Well to answer these ponderings, here is what was found! We do not actually know when hockey was in fact invented. Historians have investigated who invented this great sport but have no clear answer. Ice hockey as we know it today has evolved over the course of hundreds of years. Some believe that hockey goes back over 4,000 years to ancient Egypt where a crude stick and ball game was played.
